    This symbol may not be displayed depending on the country and region 
    where you purchased.
    Your Computer model may be ENERGY STAR
    ® compliant. If the model 
    you purchased is compliant, it is labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo on 
    the computer and the following information applies.
    TOSHIBA is a partner in the ENERGY STAR Program and has designed 
    this computer to meet the latest ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy 
    efficiency. Your computer ships with the power management options preset 
    to a configuration that will provide the most stable operating environment 
    and optimum system performance for both AC power and battery modes. 
    To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-power Standby 
    mode which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of 
    inactivity in AC power mode. TOSHIBA recommends that you leave this 
    and other energy saving features active, so that your computer will operate 
    at its maximum energy efficiency. You can wake the computer from 
    Standby mode by pressing the power button. 
    Products that earn the ENERGY STAR prevent greenhouse gas emissions 
    by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA and the 
    EU Commission. According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new 
    ENERGY STAR specifications will use between 20% and 50% less energy 
    depending on how it is used.
